*At the Lookout, the pups were busy watching a bit of TV.* 


Balloona X: Why're we watching the news again? 


Chase: Heard that there's an announcement with Mayor Goodway on here. 


Formula: Besides Loony, the news is important to know what's gonna happen in Adventure Bay 


Balloona X: *sigh* I prefer watching Apollo the Super-Pup show instead 


Rubble: Ditto there, Balloona X 


Formula: Just tolerate it till after the announcement, alright? 


Balloona X: *sigh* Fine... 


Formula: Good girl. *He gently rubbed her belly, laying down beside her.* 


Balloona X: Hehehe 


Announcer: For today’s big news, it appears Mayor Goodway of Adventure Bay received a rather unique gift from the famous stunt pilot, Ace. It’ll be arriving in the next few minutes, so keep an eye on the sky folks. 


Skye: Ooh, I wonder what Ace is gonna give Mayor Goodway. I hope it's something cool! 


Rocky: I suspect it’s something that flies though. 


Formula: Like what though? 


Rocky: I don't know, maybe a glider? 


Zuma: Could it be one of those seated gliders with that propeller in the back? 


Balloona X: Well, we'll have to wait and see 


Formula: Agreed... *As they watched the news, they could see a blimp come into view.* 


Chase: I think we might know what it is now. 


All Other Pups: Yep 


Announcer: Well, looks like Ace brought quite a big balloon to the party... or in this case, a blimp to the party 


Ace: *through intercom* Hello folks of Adventure Bay! Thought I'd drop by and give your mayor a bit of a flighted tour around! 


Skye: Lucky her. What I wouldn't give to go on a tour with Ace. 


Balloona X: Maybe one day, Skye 


Skye: I hope... 


Formula: Well... you never know. 


Balloona X: For now, it's time for Apollo the Super-Pup! *She grabbed the remote and switched it to the cartoon.* 


Rubble: Sweet! Right on time as well. 


Balloona X: Yep 


Formula: Well, I’m going to step out for some tinkering. 


Balloona X: Oh no you don’t. *She jump on him and pin him down* You are watching, whether you like it or not. 


Formula: *sighs* Can we just... *His body jitters and spins around, and Drift rests underneath her. 


Drift: Ooh! Apollo! Get off! 


Balloona X: At least we don't have to worry about you missing the show. 


Drift: Let me go so I can watch! I'll do it myself then! *He inflated himself a bit, bouncing the collie off before rolling over to TV.* 


Zuma: You dudes just gave me an idea... use you both like beanbags for three of us each. 


Rubble: Oh, yes! I want to do that! 


Drift: Hey, as long as you don’t do anything like eat on me it’s fine. I just got this suit cleaned. 


Chase: Suit? You mean your fur? 


Drift: Yeah. That’s not what I mean. *He deflates and walks into a closet.* 


Balloona X: What are you doing? 


Drift: *muffled* Give me a minute! Just have to... Done! *He steps outside, dressed as Apollo.* 


Rubble: When'd you get that?! 


Drift: Had it as a kid. Loved it! Even made this suit stretchy too. I always wear this on Apollo episodes. 


Balloona X: Got it. Well, let’s make our teammates comfy and watch the show! Choose your pup your six. 


Drift: I pick Chase, Marshall, and Skye. 


Skye: Cause we're the first three pups you met besides Loony, or something else? 


Drift: Rubble sitting on me would cause my back to break. Sorry, buddy. 


Rubble: Hey! You don't complain when you're a ball! 


Drift: Well, I’m moving when that happens. You sitting on me for a whole half hour could mess my back up badly. 


Balloona X: It's fine Rubble, I'll gladly be your beanbag. *Rubble smiles and gets on Balloona X. The two inflatable dogs nodded, swelling up to a size a bit bigger than a pup house as Zuma and Rocky climbed up Balloona X, while the remaining three climbed up Drift.* 


Marshall: Showtime. *The Show starts, and the pups cheer.* 


*While they were watching the show, Ace had Mayor Goodway in the blimps control section while taking her on the tour.* 


Ace: Pleased to have you, Mayor Goodway. How does it feel being up in the air? 


Mayor Goodway: It feels great! It’s so invigorating! I should take pictures! 


Ace: Not a bad idea, but maybe away from me. Still need to see where we're going. 


Mayor Goodway: Oh, amazing! *She takes out her phone and begins taking a picture of city hall.* That's a keeper 


Ace: You'll be going for a lot of photos I assume. 


Mayor Goodway: And how! Hey there’s a yard care man down there with a wood chipper cutting up a tree down there. 


Ace: You can see a fair lot from up here... but it does get harder seeing people. 


Mayor Goodway: Like that pointy branch coming at us? 


Ace: What? 


Mayor Goodway: Look... *Ace turned, seeing a branch fly up to the top of the blimp, but managed to overshoot it a bit.* 


Ace: Well, that was a bit lucky... 


Mayor Goodway: Agreed. 


Ace: Back to our norm- *An alert went off, showing a leak from the blimp as a bird with a sharp beak pecked it.* Uh... change of plans. We're calling the Paw Patrol. 


Mayor Goodway: Right away. *She pulled out her phone, calling Ryder.* 


*Back at the Lookout, the team were enjoying their show when Ryder received the call, fixing up his ATV.* 


Ryder: Hello, Ryder here. 


Mayor Goodway: Ryder, we have a big issue on our hands! 


Ryder: What's the problem? 


Ace: A bird pecked a hole in the blimp and we're slowly losing air. We could use a hand here. 


Ryder: Don't worry, you two! No job is too big, no pup is too small! *he end the call and call Robo-Dog* Robo-Dog, bring the Air Patroller. *Robo-Dog barking as Ryder activates the summoning signal.* Paw Patrol, to the Air Patroller! 


Pups: Ryder needs us! 


*Balloona X and Drift deflated as the pups began heading to the Air Patroller. Drift threw his outfit over near the closet, joining up with the others as Marshall came out, only to slip on a bit of the costume, crashing into the other pups.* 


Marshall: I'm ok... 


Drift: Is my suit alright? 


Balloona X: Looks like it, but to make sure nothing else happens...  *she sticks out her tounge to lick his nose, but she misses and hits Zuma instead.* 


Zuma: Dude... 


Balloona X: Sorry, was aiming for the other lab. *She licked Drift's nose twice as the door closed and the rest of the team got dressed as Drift spun around like a top till Formula took control.* 


Formula: Ugh... that one makes me dizzy... 


Balloona X: Makes me dizzy looking at it. *The two got into their outfits, joining the team.* 


Chase: Paw Patrol, ready for action, Ryder sir! 


Ryder: Pups, we got an issue with Mayor Goodway and Ace... 


Formula: What's the problem, Ryder? 


Ryder: Well, it's an interesting one... *He pressed his pad, activating the screen.* Seems while on their tour, their blimp got a prick from a bird and is slowly losing air. If we don't fix it, there could be some problems. So for this mission, I need *he select Balloona X's tag on his pup pad* Balloona X, I need you and your blimp size flight suit to keep the blimp from falling down 


Balloona X: I assume I'll have to contain the leakage? 


Ryder: That or you can go under the blimp 


Rocky: But if you do contain the leakage, you can handle the helium anyway, Balloona X 


Formula: Right, just like what... Drift had to do on our mission when you subbed for her. Right Rocky? 


Rocky: Yeah, that's right. 


Balloona X: Either way, time to bounce into action! 


Ryder: I also need you too, Formula *he select his tag* I need your blimp flight suit to block anymore bird coming towards the blimp, just in case 


Formula: I'm tuned up and tuned in! 


Skye: Anything I can do to help out Ryder? 


Ryder: One sec, Skye. *he selected on her tag* I need you to guide the blimp to a safe place to land. I also need *he selected on Rocky's tag* Rocky, I need you and your tools to repair the leakage as soon as the blimp safely lands 


Skye: Yes! This puppy's gotta fly! 


Rocky: Green means go! 


Ryder: Alright, Paw Patrol is on the roll! 


*The team arrived near the slowly deflating blimp.* 


Formula: Looks like we're up... 


Balloona X: Race you out, Formy! *The two hopped up and ran out to get their packs on. Formula arrived there first, getting his pack on from the machine, getting it tightened to his waist.* 


Formula: Looks like I win... *Then Balloona X arrived, getting her pack on from the machine too, getting it tightened to her waist.* 


Balloona X: You just got so luck there, Formy 


Formula: How was I lucky? 


Balloona X: Possibly Drift taking control of you most of the time, running around a lot and making your legs stronger everyday 


Formula: When he's not making me a balloon most of the time. 


Balloona X: A cute balloon that is. *She licked his cheek before both jumped out once the door opened.* Ready Formy!? 


Formula: Ready! *They both jumped out of the plane, their suits engaging to their blimp modes as Balloona's propellers popped out, while Formula had two jet styled turbines pop out.* 


Balloona X: Hehehe, first time seeing you at a blimp size without me doing an override 


Formula: Not funny... feels weird with these suits honestly. Feels like it overrides us anyway, doesn't it? 


Balloona X: Uh you made these suit, remember 


Formula: I know that, but after the Sea Patrol suits, it’s going to be hard to keep track. 


Skye: Time to go join those blimps. *She got up, going to the machine to get her pack, getting it tightened around her waist. She jump out of the Air Patroller and activate her Supersonic Jet Wings. She flew a bit, circling back and landing on top of Formula.* 


Skye: I have some slight deja vu here. 


Formula: What do you mean? 


Skye: The last mission we had like this, only you’re a blimp too... and we have to save Ace as well! 


Balloona X: But lucky for us, we don't need these other special features 


Formula: Not this time. At least we won’t have a giggle storm this time. 


Balloona X: Agreed. Every step you’d make on Formy would get him going. 


Formula: Yea, I have to agree with her there 


Skye: Oh yeah. One left to join us though. 


Rocky: *then he flew by Skye and Formula as he landed on Balloona X* Already here, Skye 


Balloona X: I feel when we're both around, we may as well be the carriers for you guys. 


Formula: What? 


Balloona X: Think about it, Formy 


Formula: I am... and it's got me slightly concerned. 


Balloona X: You've been getting big so many times, you still nervous? 


Formula: Well yeah. I haven't met Ace. 


Skye: Don't worry, I'm sure she's gonna like you two as cute blimp sized pups 


Formula: I don’t know... 


Balloona X: Hey, we meet cool people everyday. What's one more person going to change? 


Formula: I guess your right 


Balloona X: I’m going to keep getting that confidence up till you do it on cue like you were Drift. 


Skye: Uh, guys... still have a rescue here to do. 


Both Pups: Sorry *The two big pups guided the others to the deflating blimp.* 


Balloona X: I'll handle the leakage until we get this blimp to a safe place. 


Rocky: Sounds good. Skye and I will try to guide Ace to a safe place. 


Formula: I’ll be on bird duty, but I’m not going tickle mode for this one. 


Balloona X: Alright, let’s go pups! 


Rocky: Right away. 


Skye: On it 


Formula: Let's do it *The two regular pups flew over to the control booth while the collie looked for the leak.* 


Balloona X: Time to contain the helium! *she bite down on the leak hole* 


Formula: Well, let me get prepped for my task then... *He flew over to the front of the blimp.* 


Balloona X: *mumbling* just be careful *she can feel the helium in her cheeks* 


Formula: I will Loony. I could say the same to you. 


Rocky: I'm sure she will be ok, Formula 


Formula: I know... *He had a flashback to when Rocky took her place, being in a similar scenario.* 


Rocky: You good bud? 


Formula: Sorry... had a flashback to our mission. 


Rocky: Oh right... besides, she is an Inflatable Pup anyway 


Formula: You're right... *He sighed, looking over to see the collie slowly swelling from the helium.* 


Balloona X: *mumbling* I'll be ok, Formy. Just protect the blimp from the birds 


Formula: Sure thing... *He shook his head, focusing back to his task while Skye and Rocky guided Ace.* 


Skye: Don't worry Ace, we have two experts with this stuff up top making sure nothing else goes wrong. 


Ace: Really? 


Skye: For sure! Just trust me on this, Ace 


Ace: I usually do trust you anyway Skye. 


Skye: Now let's get this blimp to a safe place 


Ace: Lead the way you two. *She continued following while the two blimp pups kept their jobs up. Formula kept his eyes out for trouble while Balloona X kept inflating more from the helium.* 


Balloona X: *mumbling with a high voice* Hehehehe, helium does sometimes tickle me from the inside 


Formula: I bet... 


Balloona X: *muffled and high pitch* I think I know a fun game for us later on. 


Formula: Oh boy... 


Rocky: Hey Form, some birds are coming up. 


Formula: Got it! *He went forward, seeing a big flock.* Looks like I need to get big and bouncy... *he barked* Overinflated! *His suit began inflating bigger, the collie glancing over a bit.* 


Balloona X: *mumbling with high pitch* Whoa! 


Formula: Had to have these modes added... *His suit swelled up till it was half the size of a blimp, adjusting his limbs a bit.* Well... little snug on the ankles and neck, but I'll adjust it later. *he barked again* Ricochet mode! *His suit had a minor shine on it as the birds went to him, trying to peck away after they land, but their beaks sunk in before being flung back out.* Better stop now, birds. First and final warning. *The birds try it again* Warned you featherweights... *His suit shrunk slightly before swelling up instantly again, bouncing them all off far away.* How much longer until we are at the safe place to land? 


Formula: Ok then... 


Skye: Your suit looks awesome like that though man! If I ever have inflation abilities like you two, I'd like to have one of these suits too 


Formula: Noted... His ears folded as he made a mental note for later. 


Balloona X: *muffled and high pitched* Oh boy, the thinking look when you make mental notes... you've got some explaining later. 


Formula: Let's just focus here 


Balloona X: *muffled and high pitched* Fine... tell me while we wait, got it puffy suit? 


Formula: Noted... puffy bod. 


Balloona X: *mumbling and high pitched* Hehehehe 


Skye: Alright, we have a flat clearing up ahead. Bring it down now Ace and we’ll get it repaired. 


Ace: Alright then, Skye *The stunt girl piloted the blimp down, landing in the field as Mayor Goodway had her eyes covered.* 


Mayor Goodway: Let me known when we're on the ground again. 


Ace: Uh... we're there. 


Mayor Goodway: *she looked* Oh... 


Rocky: Hop on out you two while we make some repairs. But just... be ready for something. 


Mayor Goodway: Why? 


Skye: You'll see. 


Ace: Ok then... *The two left the control bit of the blimp, seeing the still swelling collie and the giant suited labrahuahua.* 


Both: Oh my! 


Ace: Now I see everything... 


Skye: Well... these two are our special IU pups for a reason. 


Ace: IU? 


Skye: Inflation Unit. They are very great members. 


Balloona X and Formula: Thanks Skye 


Mayor Goodway: Can see why. I've seen Balloona perform it a bit, but I've never seen... Formula engage with it much. 


Skye: He's always nervous about using his abilities around new people. Kind of embarrasses him a bit cause the first impression and such. 


Rocky: Drift ain't afraid to do it, but Formula's always hesitant. 


Skye: What do you think of him though Ace? Y'know... just to ease his nerves a bit. 


Ace: He’s pretty cool. 


Formula: Wait? You think I'm cool? 


Ace: You are huge and a mechanic! Plus, you can fly! 


Formula: Well... it's more of the suit... 


Balloona X: *muffled and high pitched* Or when he's filled with helium! 


Ace: Well, you still seem cool! I like you and Balloona X. 


Skye: Hear that Form? No need to be shy with those powers around Ace anymore. 


Rocky: Well, we got a helium-filled collie who has to hold the helium in her... and you have to deactivate your suit. 


Formula: Heard. *he barked twice* Deactivate Ricochet mode then Deflate mode. *His suit lost its shine and returned to its normal look before deflating back so he was on the ground again.* 


Ace: That really was your suit, you're tiny yet cute. *She softly rubbed his head.* 


Formula: *blushing* I can do it without the suit too... 


Ace: Oh? Mind showing me while the team patch up the blimp? *She pointed to the team with Rocky patching up the leak.* 


Formula: Alright, but we need to get some distance. 


Ace: Sure thing. *She picked him up, bringing him over a bit farther.* This good? 


Formula: Little more. 


Ace: Alright? *She brought him a bit further.* Good here? 


Formula: Yeah, now put me down. I’ll show you something cool. 


Ace: Sure thing *she put him down. Formula concentrates and begins to inflate. As he expands, he begins to reach the same size as the blimp.* Whoa! 


Formula: This a neat trick? 


Ace: Yeah! We should do this with helium next time! 


Formula: I have been told I could be mistaken for a blimp at points... 


Ace: But you're still a cute pup anyway, even Balloona X is too 


Formula: Just wait until you see her true size self 


Ace: I bet it's a treat. *She softly rubbed his belly.* 


Formula: Hey, take it easy. Loona’s not too great with other flirters. 


Ace: Relax. I know any dog can't resist a good belly rub though, especially with a belly as big as yours is right now. 


Formula: Yeah, you have a point. 


*While the two were spending some bonding time, Rocky finished patching up the blimp.* 


Rocky: Alright Loona, you're all set to blow the helium back in! 


Balloona X: *mumbling with a high pitched* Yep 


Rocky: Do your thing then. *The collie plugged her mouth against the port, blowing the helium back into the blimp. The blimp started to regain it helium as Balloona X started to deflate down. As soon as she was done, Balloona X sat her blimpy suit self down, panting.* You ok? 


Balloona X: Yeah, just need a break. 


Mayor Goodway: Thanks for helping fix the blimp, pups! 


Ryder: You’re welcome, Mayor Goodway! Remember, if you’re in trouble, just yelp for help! 


Balloona X: Where's Formy? 


Skye: He got lucky to hang with Ace and show her a trick. 


Balloona X: That a hint of jealousy I hear 


Skye: No! *She went a bit away from the others. thoughts* I’m a bit jealous of it, but I’m not letting them know it! 


Balloona X: Well, she’s totally lying. I better go see Formula, but first... *she barked* deflate mode *Her suit deflated fully down as she sniffed around. Formula’s fur scent and Ace’s hair spray scent hit her nose. She walked over to where she was sniffing and was shocked to see Ace on top of Formula, while the both of them laughed.* Formula!? 


Formula: Loona?! It’s not what it looks like! 


Balloona X: ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME?! 


Formula: Of course not! 


Ace: He just wanted to show me his "little" trick here, and got to say... you two are a perfect puffy couple. Gives me an idea for a stunt show. 


Balloona X: Formula, shrink down now! We need to talk! 


Formula: Uh are you sure? 


Balloona X: NOW! *The mechanical pup looked a bit worried, deflating down really quick.* 


Formula: What do we need to talk about exactly? Somebody hurt or something? 


Balloona X: *shuts his mouth.* Shhhhh! Let’s take it somewhere else. 


Formula: Uh sure, Loony *She dragged him over to a quiet place for just the two of them.* 


Balloona X: Why did you let her do that? That’s what I did for you with the Pawsuit changer incident! 


Formula: Look... remember how I did it for Alex? I did it to make him happy while you guys got his pinata back. Since your funniest way... started to rub on me more often now. I know I'm shy and such on first impressions, but I am trying to be more out and about with expansion. If I weren't, I wouldn't have even added two inches of air to myself let alone be a blimp. 


Balloona X: Well... *she thinks for a minute. sighs.* You’re right. I’m sorry. It’s just I’m not completely used to this new you. I guess I’m not really sure if I can handle it. But... I’ll do my best to support you. I’m sorry if I seemed a little jealous. From now on, I promise I’ll support your choices. 


Formula: I accept your apology, but if you want me to go back to my old ways, let me know. 


Balloona X: No! No! Never ask that again! I’ll just have to accept this. After all, a good girlfriend helps her boyfriend move forward. 


Formula: Ok then... *The two shared a comforting head nuzzle before returning to the team.* 


Skye: Well, how was it? 


Formula: The time with Ace? Fun. 


Skye: Good. *She put on a fake smile, trying to hide her jealous feeling.* 


Balloona X: Skye, I know you're jealous about it 


Formula: Shouldn't let it build, trust me. Compare it to us at points, don't want that bubble to burst at the wrong time. 


Skye: *sighs* Yeah. I’m jealous. She’s my personal hero, and you’re meeting her. 


Formula: Don't worry, she was only interested to see my ability, nothing more 


Ace: Will say, it's a cool ability though. You pups helped inspire a new show I may try out in the future, but for now... we have a tour to resume. Want to tag along, Skye? *Skye’s tail begins wagging.* 


Skye: Yes! Absolutely! Count me in! 


Ace: Great! Come on! We’re ready to take off! You coming, Mayor Goodway? 


Skye: I'll see you guys back home! *she follows Ace* 


Formula: Later Skye. 


Mayor Goodway: Wait for me! *With the cockapoo and the mayor boarding, Ace piloted the blimp off as the team went back to the Air Patroller.* 


Ryder: You all were such good pups, when we get back, we're relaxing a bit. 


Rubble: I heard it's an Apollo marathon as well! 


Balloona X: Really, cool! But this time, I think we need a bigger beanbag for all of us *she looks at Formula with a smile* 


Formula: Let me just work on a blueprint though, please. Before you pull me in. 


Balloona X: You have five minutes after we land... 


Formula: Thank you Loony 


*After a bit of a flight, the team landed and went to watch the show, while Formula went down to the garage to look at the blueprint of an odd scanner.* 


Formula: This'll help Skye out... and maybe the others too... but do I tell Loony? 


Balloona X: Tell me what? 


Formula: Oh... it's for my special project for the Paw Patrol soon.... 


Balloona X: Ooh... tell me a bit... after the show, cause time's up! 


Formula: What?! But it has only been five seconds! 


Balloona X: Oh darn... let's go. 


Formula: But you said five minutes! 


Balloona X: Sorry... show started early. *She handed him the outfit, pulling him to the front driveway.* Put it on, and let me override your personalities. 


Formula: This isn't fair... 


Balloona X: Sorry, but you do owe me after the whole Ace thing 


Formula: C'mon... you don't want to override me do ya? *He laughed nervously as the collie simply looked at him.* Please? 


Balloona X: Sorry, we need someone who'll sit for the show. *She slipped the costume on him, licking his nose twice.* Come on out Drift! *Formula blushed in surprise from that has he inflated up like Bouncemula, till his tag turned gold. The collie simply giggled, nuzzling his figure.* Why is this form one of my favorites amongst them? *She giggled a bit as he spun around while deflating, showing Drift in control.* Ready for an Apollo marathon? 


Drift: You bet! *He inflated once again, bouncing up the driveway and by the tv.* Alright, let's watch! 


Balloona X: Wait for me! *The rest of the team smiled.* 


Rubble: Can you handle the whole team on your back? 


Drift: With a bit more air I can. Just hop on, pups *All of the pups hopped onto their balloony teammates back as he inhaled a bit more, making himself slightly bigger to fit the whole team properly.* 


Chase: Shame Skye couldn't be here for this... 


Zuma: Miss your gal, dude? 


Chase: Sort of. 


Marshall: I can tell ya how it feels. *He gently pat his police partner on the back, only to slip and fall off Drift.* 


Balloona X: Least I have my charmer here, and I'll share him with you guys. There is plenty of him to share. *They all shared a laugh at their ballooned friend as they got to watching the show, Ace flying the blimp over the town again as a giggling Skye took in the sights from up high and being in the presence of her idol again.* 


The End
